Shareholders of Fidelity Southern Corp looking to boost their income beyond the stock's 2.2% annualized dividend yield can sell the May 2018 covered call at the $22.50 strike and collect the premium based on the $1.10 bid, which annualizes to an additional 11.6% rate of return against the current stock price (at Stock Options Channel we call this the YieldBoost), for a total of 13.8% annualized rate in the scenario where the stock is not called away. Any upside above $22.50 would be lost if the stock rises there and is called away, but LION shares would have to advance 4.8% from current levels for that to occur, meaning that in the scenario where the stock is called, the shareholder has earned a 9.9% return from this trading level, in addition to any dividends collected before the stock was called.
